My skin is in awful shape right now. And of course that happens just when I start to feel good about it (side eye). I had a major breakout roughly a week ago, and it wasn’t acne. I’m not sure what it was; the dermatologist says some kind of contact dermatitis which makes sense (I guess) because I have been…

This morning I jolted out of bed with memories of the previous day when a colleague of mine pointed out a difference in the appearance of my skin… Not anything bad, just a difference.

I love bubble baths. I mean I really, really love bubble baths. It can be 90 degrees out, and if I’m in the mood for a bath I’ll have one.

Sephora is running Beauty Appreciation Week, awarding Beauty Insiders twice, three times, and four times the points depending on the level of membership you have (I’m VIB). I went in to pick up necessities: my staple mascara Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara in Excessive Black and an Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Perversion; in addition, I walked out with…
